==History== The first known reference to the village of Nyrup (Nuthorp) is in a letter from Pope Alexander III dated 2 November 1178. The village belonged to Esrum Abbey until the Reformation. In 1497 it consisted of 10 farms and in 1681 of six farms and four houses. From 1674 until 1712 the residence of the forester of Kronborg County was in Nyrup. After that he resided at Gurrehus. Before Fredensborg was built, the king also had a hunting lodge at Nyrup. It was located a little north of the village. Nyrup was located at the site where the two royal roads (kongeveje) from Frederiksborg and Hirschholm Palace met before continuing to Helsingør and Kronborg. The village was therefore from at least the beginning of the 18th century and probably much earlier home to an inn.
